Crypto News Market Analysis The Crypto Den Trading

TradeRoom: Our Weekly Crypto Trades Analysis – May 2, 2022

Welcome to this weekly series from the TradeRoom. My name is Dave and I’m the founder of The Crypto Den, an Australian-based crypto trading and education community aiming to give you the knowledge to take your trading game to the next level.

Crypto Market Outlook

The TOTAL market cap lost US$100 billion over the weekend and is currently having a small retrace of that loss. I suspect this will be pretty short-lived, which would bring us to a very important last line of defence. If the TOTAL drops below US$1.58 trillion, there’s huge potential for a US$400 billion loss. This will undoubtedly hurt a lot of people, so please investigate stop losses and make sure you’re prepared for the worst-case scenario!

TOTAL market cap

The BTC monthly closed just below that monthly support and has a window of opportunity to keep us in a ranging situation. Failing that, we get another bearish month and it’s anyone’s guess how low we could drop from here. If you zoom right out and take a good look at the monthly chart, you will see there’s really no structure between US$34,000 and US$14,000.

BTC monthly chart

I’m putting forward some very bearish cases here and that does not mean it’s game over. There’s still opportunity for BTC to bounce, but it must happen above US$30,000! If that level breaks, then it will be a long winter in my opinion.

BTC/USDT 1D chart

BTC is currently sitting on a weekly 100 EMA and some daily support. My bias is still that we see a bear flag that I wrote about last week play out over the next month or two. If so, ALTS will bleed hard.


Last Week’s Performance

ADA/USDT

ADA, like many others, is also at its last line of defence. I entered short last week and am now currently sitting at around 120% ROI. I’d like to see this trade reach approximately 800% in 10x.

ADA/USDT

DOGE/USDT

This entry was partially TA and partially luck! Last week I wrote about my thoughts on DOGE dropping 70%, then Elon decided to buy Twitter (as you do) and DOGE pumped. The luck part was that I didn’t enter right away and instead got in a short on the pump. I’m currently sitting at 170% ROI.

DOGE/USDT

This Week’s Trades

TORN/USDT

I’ve been watching TORN since last week and have just entered a short trade today. Candlestick analysis is showing a lot of indecision at a crucial level of daily resistance. R:R looks good enough for me to enter.

TORN/USDT

TRX/USDT

A 2017 fan favourite, TRX, looks like it could be setting up for a short trade. It’s currently sitting at both daily 200 EMA and daily resistance. If we see BTC drop, this could present a prime entry for short trades.

TRX/USDT

Dogecoin Fans Are Trying To Rig Google’s “One Dollar” Search Results

A group of Dogecoin (DOGE) fans have launched a bid to influence Google’s search rankings so that a picture of the popular canine cryptocurrency appears whenever someone performs an image search for “one dollar”.

The call was made on a Reddit page with the title: “One Dollar. Interact with this post and image so it will be shown in searches for one dollar.”

The post refers to hopes that Dogecoin will eventually be worth one dollar, in a one-of-a-kind competition between crypto evangelists who would often speculate about Bitcoin replacing the dollar as a global currency.

Worth about 50 cents AUD at the time of writing, Elon Musk’s favourite meme coin is now the fourth largest cryptocurrency and its journey seems definitively moonbound. Yet its astronomical growth does not seem to be enough for some Doge fans.

Is It Working?

The bid to engineer the search results appears to be working. When we searched for “one dollar”, a Dogecoin image was indeed riding high in the rankings.

Despite the recent fluctuations in price, enthusiasm seems to be running high between Doge supporters, with Reddit user comments like “When Tesla accepts Doge, 1 Doge = $35,000, take it or leave it” or “Waiting for Tesla to accept doge since the announcement of Elon’s appearance on SNL…” where he discussed all things DOGE.

On the Reddit page advertising the stunt, users were also talking about Elon Musk’s recent poll in which he asked if Tesla should start accepting the currency. Results are in and almost 80% in favour of DOGE payments, leaving not much room for interpretation of market sentiment.

No one say whether or not Dogecoin will hit the one dollar milestone, or go to the moon – maybe even literally.

Bitcoin (BTC) Hits New All-Time High as Tesla Drops in a Cool $1.5 Billion

Tesla, the world’s favorite electric car manufacturer, has announced a $1.5 billion injection into Bitcoin, sending the king of cryptocurrencies to new highs.

Within minutes of the announcement, Bitcoin catapulted past its previous high of $42,000, very nearly cracking the $44,000 barrier before a mild correction. It currently sits just about $43,000 but we expect to see some more volatility and further growth as the news spreads.

The official announcement follows several hints dropped by Telsa CEO and world’s richest man, Elon Musk, about his faith in Bitcoin. Two weeks ago, Musk changed his Twitter profile to the hashtag #Bitcoin, followed by a cryptic message simply stating “In retrospect, it was inevitable”. That announcement alone gave Bitcoin a massive 20 percent boost in value, although the gains dissipated quickly.

Musk’s Crazy Crypto Journey

Musk’s support for Bitcoin came at a time when financial markets around the world were faced with mounting instability following the WallStreetBets and GameStop saga that nearly bankrupted massive US hedge fund Melvin Capital. The fallout forced popular trading app Robinhood to halt trading, leading to widespread controversy and driving many traditional investors to consider cryptocurrency.

Musk has also been promoting the least likely of digital assets, the joke meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE). He did so in a series of bizarre tweets involving photoshopped Lion King imagery that led many to wonder if Musk’s Twitter account had in fact been hacked. However, it seems the tweets were genuine, helping to send Dogecoin to new highs and secure it a place in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is up 104 percent in the past 7 days with a market growth of $6 billion.

Buy a Tesla with BTC

Along with the $1.5 billion investment, Tesla has also announced that it plans to start accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment. In its annual financial report, presented to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company outlines its plan to begin accepting cryptocurrency payments.

“Moreover, we expect to begin accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for our products in the near future, subject to applicable laws and initially on a limited basis, which we may or may not liquidate upon receipt,” the report reads.

The news is undoubtedly one of the biggest boosts for cryptocurrency since Bitcoin was birthed over a decade ago. With the backing of one of the world’s most successful and forward-thinking tech companies, many more businesses around the world are likely to begin accepting payments in crypto.
